"Makes you appreciate things a little more when times are tough," - Joel Dahmen after securing his PGA Tour card for the 2025 season

Dahmen was very emotional after securing his Tour card for the next season. Following the tournament, he opened up about his performance this season, saying (via Golf Channel):

"Makes you appreciate things a little more when times are tough. I thought a lot about everything. It came down to the last putt this week. I hit thousands of golf shots this year, missed a lot of cuts, had a lot of opportunities to do everything, so I didn't have to come to this. I was thankful for the opportunity today, but I don't want to go through this ever again.”

This season on the PGA Tour has been a roller coaster ride for Joel Dahmen. He had a pretty tough start to the season with T72 finishes at the Sony Open and then missed two back-to-back cuts. However, he recorded some decent finishes in the mid-season, including T10 at the RBC Canadian Open and T11 at The Players Championship. Out of the 30 tournaments Dahmen played, he made the cut in 19 but ultimately settled in within the top 125 in the FedEx Cup standings.
